Abstract

This online resource shows how metaphors can be used productively in CBT as an integral part of the treatment. It describes the use of metaphors for a wide range of problems, including anxiety and depression, and provides countless examples of metaphors that have been used by others in CBT. It brings together in one place hundreds of metaphors that experienced therapists have used to great success, and will be a valuable resource for all cognitive behaviour therapists, as well as those training in CBT.

Keywords: metaphor, problematic interpretation, anxiety, depression, treatment, cognitive-behavioral therapy, CBT
